Why Is the Number of Those Punished So Great?

Question

Some individuals from among the non-Muslim communities have raised an objection against the Divine law: of all the people whom God the Exalted has created and will create from the beginning of the world to its end, in the light of the Qur’an and hadith the number of the non-Muslim communities is found to be greater, and all of them are to remain in Hell forever and ever. “Are we not God’s servants? The shirk we have committed — why does He Who has the love of seventy mothers not forgive it?

Answer

As for the objections that people of the non-Muslim communities raise — do not take upon yourself the responsibility of answering them so long as you have not formally acquired the knowledge of the Noble Qur’an, the noble hadith, tafsir, fiqh and creed.
